Granddaughter’s Baptism
Today another new little one joined the family of Christ – my granddaughter. I talked to my sons ahead of time to see if it would be possible to video chat during her Baptism in the church, and they said they would try. I got a call from my older grandson when they got to […]
Catching Up With Family
This morning I took a walk in the brisk air. I am surprised at how the weather seemed to change immediately at the first of October. After a few minutes I thought I would like to chat with someone. Since I always carry my phone, I thought I would call my sister who is typically […]
Guardian Angels
I got up early this morning, ready to start my day with a walk. When I stepped outside, it was raining, so I went back in. I stretched my body out a bit and decided to spend time doing some praying and reading. I found the Mass readings for the day and realized it is […]
God’s Care
My dad called early this morning with the great news that he was being released from the hospital. When my mom and I arrived, we passed by the chapel. My mom had not been there before, so we went in and spent a few minutes. We included intercessions to St. Therese of Lisieux, as it […]
And Exhale
Today was the day my dad had his pacemaker implanted. It was an early morning as we made our way to the hospital in the dark. My mom stayed at the house with my sister. My dad was one of the first to have a procedure done, along with 2 other men. They checked in […]
Prepared
My dad will be having surgery tomorrow to have a pacemaker implanted. He scheduled it a couple of weeks ago when it was discovered that his heart rate was dropping periodically. He decided to wait until things settled a little – his broken thumb would be well into the healing process and my sister who […]
Renovated Walker
My sister has been getting around mostly with a walker since she broke her leg and cannot put any weight on it at all. She lifts the leg and uses the walker as you would use crutches – she moves it forward a bit, then hops her good leg forward. She has been trying different […]
Healed Thumb
My dad has been wearing a splint on his broken thumb for weeks. It kept his thumb straight and he laughed about his permanent “thumb’s up”. Of course, it has been tedious trying to do things with only 1 working thumb – and that one being his left one when he is right-handed. But he […]
Angel in a Time of Need
As my mom and I were out walking today, we met up with a neighbor. It was the man who was quick on the scene when my father fell and broke his thumb. The more I talk to him, the more I realize what an angel he was and what a blessing it is that […]
Signs of Jesus
A few years ago, my daughter-in-law’s mother fought a battle against ovarian cancer – and won. Every year since then, the family has done the fundraising walk. This year, my grandson made t-shirts for him, his brother, and his new little sister. They were very creative and very cute. I saw pictures from the walk […]
